- Product Description
- The
mission of Widgetbox is to give everyone the power to assemble, share
and integrate the best of the Web. Widgetbox is a web-based widget
marketplace that provides Web service–based interactive
content, or
“widgets,” that can be dynamically embedded into
blogs, social
networks, auctions and home pages.
- Market Opportunity
- Technorati
estimates that there are over 50 million blogs, and, according to
Nielsen/NetRatings, social networks attract nearly half of all Web
users. With this growth of user-generated content, the Web is rapidly
turning into a powerful applications platform.
- DEMO Says
- Blog
software has turned a generation into personal journalists. Now,
Widgetbox gives bloggers the tools to become media magnates. This
marketplace of content and code lets anyone enhance ordinary blogs and
create context-rich information portals from its catalog of application
“widgets.” Widgetbox will no doubt spawn some
sophisticated sites, and
more importantly it will turn casual applet developers into widget
entrepreneurs by providing a ready marketplace for their programs.
